poems

by Nica Cornell

‘There are countless poets of the body, but in Cornell’s hands women’s bodies bleed, and leak and ache, they become sites of explicit corporeal information so that we cannot ignore them. They are “never small, never light, always all” – brought to the forefront, not as palatable or acceptable, but as an act of confrontation and resistance.’ - Sarah Lubala, award-winning poet
